Which Should You Buy?
A fresh, fruity twist on the original Montabaco that's a crowd-pleaser for some, yet leaves others scratching their heads over its 'Cuban' identity and lack of prominent tobacco. Its limited edition status adds to its appeal for collectors.
A polarising release from Ormonde Jayne. Some find this a glorious bouquet with an unexpected tobacco twist, balancing masculine and feminine elements. Others just don't get the hype, finding it a bit too musky and vintage-leaning. Sample first.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.
Occasions
Given its fresh, easy-going nature and moderate projection, this fragrance is highly versatile for daily wear, suitable for the office or casual outings. While it has an air of sophistication that works for dates, its limited sillage makes it less ideal for formal events where a more commanding presence is desired.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
While quite refined, the strong floral and tobacco notes might be a bit much for a formal office setting. It shines on dates and formal events where its unique blend can truly be appreciated, with year-round versatility for evening wear.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Woody, Aromatic, Citrus accords and Tea, Jasmine notes
